NYTimes - U.S. counterterrorism official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said al-Libby was the No. 3 al-Qaida figure behind bin Laden and Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, who was captured in March 2003. The official called this arrest the most significant blow to al-Qaida since Mohammed's capture, saying al-Libbi is believed responsible for planning attacks around the world, including in the United States. - ''Their leadership and support network is fraying,'' said the official, who called this a ''significant capture'' and ''another chapter in the degradation of their network.''

Interior Minister Aftab Khan Sherpao described al-Libbi as an ''al-Qaida planner'' who held a senior place in the terror group's hierarchy. He said the U.S. government was offering a $10 million bounty for information leading to al-Libbi's arrest...

prying1 sez: This shows that the war against terrorism must continue. One by one the bricks fall and the wall comes tumbling down. As a result the world will (and is) a safer place as these terrorist groups find their support withering away.

About Me

Ok, Who Am I? This is a question most men do not want to answer because it takes a bit of introspection. - I can say ABOUT me I've been attending the same church since 1981 or thereabouts. through 3 pastors and I'm still there because I've yet to hear God to tell me to go elsewhere. I'm glad he hasn't. I love the place and people.
Worked in the same printing shop from '85 till 2010 and now put in part time work at another shop since the city purchased the property and has done nothing to it since. What a waste of taxpayer dollars. - - Oh! Love my work too. (letterpress printing)
Been married since '88 - This year is firm cause I just asked the wife - Love my wife and daughter.
After these I love books.
